Social Studies Assessment, Curriculum, and Instruction (SSACI)

The Social Studies Assessment, Curriculum, and Instruction (SSACI) collaborative, facilitated by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), consists of social studies experts, assessment experts, and state department of education professionals. The SSACI collaborative allows education agencies to draw from a large pool of experience that is not available when a state confronts challenges alone.

Since joining the faculty in 2004, she has been a four-time recipient of the National Technology Leadership Award in Social Studies Education.
